Just for you, Kaye!
Much more pesto is in another freezer. This is the last batch I made. I have 8 quarts of pickles so far. Bill gave me a lot of pickling cukes yesterday, so I anticipate another 8 quarts.
It's still quite humid. I wish strongly that quite would become quit. I have processed one gallon bag of tomatoes this morning. This is as interesting as it's going to get, I'm afraid. Life had folded itself up for now, too damned hot (humid) to do much of anything. The horses are holding up well, maybe because their ancestry is from the desert. Mark is doing the outside labor and has held up well, too. He does take two showers a day. I forgot to mention that along with the pickling cukes Bill gave me a huge box of tomatoes and a lot of slicing cucumbers. I am under siege!

Sounds as if Bill could stock a farm stand. I wonder if there's a food bank that might like some of this great fresh food? Some do, some can't.
Boud, I found out while I still had a huge produce garden that the local food shelf can’t take produce from individuals. It’s risky, all it takes is one demented person. It’s really too bad but it’s how we are.
Sandra, Thank You! It looks as delicious and lovely as I imagined it would. You made my day!
Take Care,
Kaye
Hope the weather breaks soon...Fall is coming. Leaves and acorns fell all day today:)
Posted a pic on FB this week of a woman (cartoon) holding up her bazooms in front of a fan, 'It's not the heat, it's the humidititty'. Yup.
Eric makes pickles now and then, he's the only person who eats them, though. My only use for pickles is a couple tablespoons of sweet pickle relish in my tuna salad. Otherwise, no.
You are amazing in the production department and will be all set at the end of the harvest season. Hope the humidity gives you a break soon. We are still in the 70s here and it's raining today. One red tomato has appeared, but that's it. So far behind in the sauce making department.
Kaye, you are welcome! It won't take long to fill it up.
Far Side, there are no signs of Fall yet down here. I'm so worn out by the humidity.
Ami 😂. I like pickles, obviously!
NOAA put out an interesting fact that in the Midwest at this time of year with the August heat...that corn and soybeans add to the humidity by 'sweating' off moisture into the air!
I knew that but forgot about it.
Corn Sweat. Who knew? Look it up, it is interesting!
So stop the humidity...eat corn! LOL!
Lori, my kitchen looks like someone threw a grenade. That's strange about the tomatoes. You've had good weather. Right now our temperature is 73 and the dew point id 70 degrees. Wecannot get away from the humidity.
Val, yes I have heard that. I don't think it's making us tropical, as those crops have been around a long time but tropical dew points in MN have not. Besides, I don't like corn!!!
Hi, just dropping by from Betrice Bear blog.
Boy, those pickles sound delicious.
My folks were born and until the war lived in Minn. Min.
When visiting I do remember the humidity. Glad we don't have too much of it here in the Sacramento valley.

Hi, Sue! We have humidity like we haven't had in the last few years. Might as well be Florida!
I do like fermented pickles.
You must really, really like pickles a lot, Sandra, or maybe Mark does? The ones we buy in the supermarket deli case last so long as my husband is the only real fan. I do enjoy them, just not that often. Hope you get a break from the humidity. weather in Nashua, NH, has been rather pleasant but rainy this weekend.
Beatrice, I do like them and so does mark. I will eat a pickle as a snack. I also give some to my son and his wife. They really like these old style kosher dills. It is starting out better today, hopefully it stays that way.
